No, it would be impossible for that to have occurred. Shakira was born in 1977 and did not begin having hits until the 1990s in Spanish-speaking markets, and not until the early 2000s in the English-speaking world.

He did have a son, Roberto Clemente Jr., who grew up to become a sports broadcaster, and may be familiar with Shakira's music; but Roberto Jr. has not said much about his favorite singers-- he much prefers to talk about sports.
